Well what's making the connection? It looks like unencrypted http, if your social security number and last known addresses are streaming by you should be able to see them. It's a bit of a jump to say that FB (not that I'm particularly fond of them) is spying on you from a single netstat command. You probably clicked login with facebook for some site and it's just autologging you in or overzealous prefetching. Either way, I think we can all stop making tinfoil hats now... 2011/9/29 Glen Kent <glen.kent () gmail com>
Hi, I see that i have multiple TCP sessions established with facebook. They come up even after i reboot my laptop and dont login to facebook! D:\Documents and Settings\gkent>netstat -a | more Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State TCP gkent:3974 www-10-02-snc5.facebook.com:http ESTABLISHED TCP gkent:3977 www-11-05-prn1.facebook.com:http ESTABLISHED TCP gkent:3665 a184-84-111-139.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com:http ESTABLISHED [clipped] Any idea why these connections are established (with facebook and akamaitechnologies) and how i can kill them? Since my laptop has several connections open with facebook, what kind of information is flowing there? I also wonder about the kind of servers facebook must be having to be able to manage millions of TCP connections that must be terminating there. Glen
